Your ownership proven each day#
Only BullionVault publishes a Daily Audit of client property, on the internet for public scrutiny. Independent, third-party documents show that your property is where it should be - in full, each day - and in your name, proving that there are not multiple claims on the same metal. An anonymous nickname means that you alone can see how much gold you own in the vault.
Wholesale bars, wholesale prices#
Buying wholesale is always cheaper than retail, and BullionVault gives you access to wholesale bullion bars from as little as 1 gram at a time. Your gold holding is made up of 1 gram slices of a wholesale bar. Holding bullion in this form means the liquidity of the global wholesale market is on tap. It also means you do not need to pay retail fabrication costs up front. All gold coins and small bars start their lives as part of large, wholesale units, which are melted down and recast into smaller units for retail investors. But with BullionVault, you only pay those fabrication costs if you opt to take physical possession, out of the vault.
No dealer, no middleman#
On BullionVault you're cutting out the middleman to trade directly with other private investors in a free, competitive market, where all users can quote and accept buy and sell prices on BullionVault's live exchange. Allowing all users to quote competing prices lets you buy gold and silver at the lowest possible price. BullionVault also offers bid and ask prices to ensure liquidity.
Simple, transparent charges#
BullionVault offers unbeaten low costs for dealing. There's no joining fee and no minimum deposit. Just a simple, low-cost way to own gold and silver safely and securely in a vault of our choice. Estimate your commission and storage fees using our cost calculator.
24-hour online dealing#
You can check your account, and buy and sell at any time of the day or night. Use one of BullionVault's mobile applications, and you don't even need to be at your computer.
Unique accreditation#
